Celtic fans have called for Martin O’Neill to return to Parkhead, after he left his post at Nottingham Forest earlier today.

Celtic are currently looking for a new Director of Football to replace Lee Congerton.

Nicky Hammond has been linked with the role at Parkhead, but Celtic fans think that O’Neill would be a better choice now he is available again, after his departure from Forest.

O’Neill remains a very popular figure at Celtic, as his time in charge between 2000 and 2005 was a big success.

O’Neill guided Celtic to the Europa League final in 2003, and is still considered to be one of their finest managers in recent times.

Whether the 67-year-old would consider taking a job where he is given a more hands-off-role remains to be seen, as he may still have ambitions to remain as a manager.

O’Neill spent just six months with Forest in the end, and could only guide them to a mid-table spot in the Championship.
